Too late for April Fools’, but well in time for Halloween...

A great way to be immortalized
The most extreme road-going McLaren built at the time of its launch in 2018 (which is exactly what you'd hope, given who they chose to name it after). Not the prettiest, though. The Senna's design was entirely dictated by

That Aston Martin Valhalla superbike looks sick
Carmakers building bikes isn't anything new. Japanese marques such as Honda and Suzuki have their own lines of motorcycles. If you're looking to go a bit upmarket, BMW also has a brand called Motorrad for you.That's about as
Trivia time
McLaren is named after Bruce McLaren, the New Zealand racer who never won the Formula 1 championship, but set up a team that has managed exactly that 12 times so far. As well as a driver, he was a gifted engineer, which
The silliest optional extra of them all?
Once Ferrari figured out it could flog pricey carbon wheels to willing punters, it made sure to offer them in a juicy go-faster pack for the ballistic SF90 Stradale hybrid. Along with carbon wheels, the Assetto Fiorano bundle includes stickier tires,

Need
The real-life, full-size McLaren Senna GTR is all about numbers: £1.1 million (P70.4 million) plus tax; 1,000kg of downforce at 250kph; 825hp and 330kph flat out; and only 75 examples to be produced, which you're probably

The Hoonicorn isn’t just proficient in going sideways...
Remember Ken Block's outrageous Hoonicorn V2? Y'know, the 789hp twin-turbo V8 version of the four-wheel-drive 1965 Hoonicorn Ford Mustang RTR? Of course you do. Given it's spent half of its life at 45 degrees (or more)
Which one’s your favorite?
A few weeks ago, we brought you news of Lanzante's tribute to the McLaren F1 GTRs that finished first, third, fourth, fifth, and 13th at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995. Now here's McLaren's-a run of

A track-ready toy for the little ones
McLaren has just revealed its newest creation, and it'll surely get you gearhead parents buzzing. Meet the new McLaren Senna Ride-On, the latest toy car to roll out of the British carmaker's plant.As its name suggests, it's
Not all of them are found in expensive exotics
A starter button on the dashboard? Snore. Somehow, it's more interesting-more Italian-to locate it on the steering wheel. Audi does that in the R8 V10. Lots of Ferraris do the same. But the Alfa Romeo Giulia brings a slice

Some companies are never satisfied
The McLaren Senna isn't really about straight-line performance. But of course, it has plenty of it, anyway-789hp and 799Nm from the same 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 as the 720S means 0-100kph in 2.8sec, 0-200ph

The former prototypes have been given the McLaren Special Operations treatment
The McLaren Senna is a carbon-tubbed, 335kph, 789hp monster. It's the most extreme road car McLaren has ever built. But then, it was always going to be given who they named it after.So, how do you make a car

A pure track machine
Yes, and it's a pretty big one, because it means the Senna GTR is faster than a full-house 720S GT3 car. How much faster? An order of seconds per lap, says McLaren, although the carmaker is coy about further detail.

Why are we showing you a photo of a McLaren Senna coarsely pixelated and sent down a 56k modem? We're not. It's something vastly more wonderful. A McLaren Senna rendered in full size out of Lego.Not entirely out of

Our kind of vlogger
The McLaren Senna is one of the most fearsome beasts to ever come out of the British performance car manufacturer's stable. See it in action on the track in the hands of none other than Nico Rosberg. On a side note,
It’s still ugly, but also quite cute
Lego's recreations of the latest greatest performance cars are arriving just as thick and fast as McLaren's droves of supercars. And here's the latest combination of the two: Lego's McLaren Senna.It's as angular as you'd

Not traditionally beautiful, but beautifully effective. Beware the wing
Downforce isn't beautiful. Up until this year, we weren't sure. Then the McLaren Senna arrived, its appearance mostly aquatic bottom feeder with a dash of kitchen implement, and it was settled. Downforce is ugly.But form follows function, and McLaren
It looks better than the Senna, too
Welcome to this month's new wing with a McLaren attached. With the internet's resting heart rate finally recovering from the palpitations induced by the challenging appearance of the 789hp McLaren Senna, Woking has aimed its stripping-out sockets and souping-

It's almost perfect
Sounds a lot, doesn't it? It's important that you know right at the outset that 789bhp is the least impressive thing about the Senna. The brakes, oh my god, the brakes. On Silverstone's Hanger Straight, stopping from something approaching
A bonkers, track-only version
We've not yet fully digested the bonkers stats of the McLaren Senna. Yet here to scramble our brains further is a bonkers, track-only version. Meet the McLaren Senna GTR."The track-only McLaren Senna GTR will have more power, more
*Open to argument, of course
I'm standing next to what can only be described as a McLaren 720S subjected to a state-sponsored doping program. It's swapped beautiful for brutal and soft undulations for jagged voids. Your eyes flit around it, not knowing where to
